A workshop for those who are thinking they'd like to eat more healthfully but are a little intimidated with the plethora of conflicting nutrition information out in the big wide world.

I subscribe to the tried and tested Mediterranean diet philosophy which includes a lot of whole plant foods and small amounts of fish and meat. In other words, a wide range of real food in moderation - skip the fads and just eat the real food. The fads fade but the real stuff lasts.

In this whole foods 101 class, you'll learn how to incorporate more whole foods onto your menu and why it is important to do this.
